BOLD IN FAITH: A Commitment to Stewardship and Mission

In this Jubilee Year, our Archdiocese launches the BOLD IN FAITH annual appeal: “Proclaiming the kingdom of God with boldness and without hindrance.” -Acts 28:31

This is a celebration of our story as Catholics in Nova Scotia and a renewal of our commitment to Christ’s mission here and now.

Each week, starting in October and leading up to the Archdiocesan Feast Day in December, we will share photos that highlight this story and celebrate our parish communities.

To make sure you never miss a photo, sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Facebook.

Your gift to this year’s appeal strengthens vital ministries that touch lives every day:

  • Parish Mission – renewing parish life and pastoral ministry
  • Community – caring for our retired priests who gave their lives in service
  • Formation – nurturing the faith of children, youth, and adults alike
  • Outreach & Mission – extending Christ’s love to the most vulnerable, including through the Emergency Shelter Project
  • Diocesan Ministry Services – supporting university and hospital chaplaincies

And in gratitude for your local parish, 20% of every gift will be returned directly to your parish, ensuring that your generosity strengthens both your immediate faith community and our Archdiocese as a whole.

This is more than a fundraising effort, it is a movement of faith-filled stewardship. Together, let us be Pilgrims of Hope, building a bright future rooted in faith and service.

Supporting the Pastoral Work of the Archdiocese: Changes Coming for 2025!

This year marks an important milestone for our universal church. In this Jubilee Year, we are called to be “Pilgrims of Hope”, to act with clarity, purpose, and love. In following this call to action, we have consolidated our Archdiocesan annual appeals into one to focus and better steward our shared resources. This single appeal, coming this fall, will directly support our Emergency Shelter Project, Marriage Tribunal Ministry, Hospital & University Chaplaincy, Adult & Youth Faith Formation, Care for our Retired Priests, and all the ministries of the Archdiocese found in our 2024 Impact Report. Parishes will also receive 20% of all donations to this appeal contributed by their parishioners to use in their faith communities.
